Well, after having many freezes along the way, I finally got rc5 to the end on my Blade 100 with Type 6 USB keyboard. Upon reboot, I tried to type in root and got gobley gook characters. I went back in with rc5 and changed my rc.conf by:

1. copying the livecd rc.conf over my local version
2. Using Keymap="sunkeymap"
3. Using Keymap="sunt5-us-cs"
